TWO REPORTS FROM THE TREASURY COMMITTEE. The Treasury department some time ago ap- Pointed a committee to consider the effect of the ‘7Un section of the tariff act.of 1883, as to whether it intended to repeal the duties on all coverings of goods, inciuding small boxes that contain them, such as blacking and cigar voxes, or only torepeal the duties on outside boxes hecessary for trans- portation. The committee, consisting of Mr. James, the chlef of the customs divisions, Treasury department, chairman; Appraiser Ketcham, of New York custom house; Mr. 'Treloar, represent- ing the New York collector; Mr. Fisk, the deputy collector at Boston; Mr. Rice, the appraiser at Boston; Mr. Morse, the appraiser at Philadelphia, and Mr. Goldsborouch, the appraiser at Baltimore, met in New York, and after consideration of the matter for several days the committe to-day sub- mitted two reports to the Treasury department. One, Signed by Messrs. James, Treloar and Golds- borough, recommensed that Only the outer cover- ing be exempted from taxation, Theother, signed by Messrs. Ketcham, Rice and Fisk, recommended that all the coverings be exempted and that duties be assessed only on the naked merchaa- dize. Mr. Morse did not sign elther report. The Treasury department will have these re- ports printed 2g soon as convenient, and then fur— hished to the press. Itis probable that the de- partment will refer the question to the Attorney General for his decision. ‘The questions involve1 are of great interest to importers, some favoring taxing all the coverings and others confining the charges to the goods alone. ‘The former are the strict protectionists, and the latter are inclined to e trade, HAIL FIVE FEET IN PLACES. offices, were appoitted to-day: Eawin P.

While thanking you for the complimentary terms in which the announcement is made, I find myself unable to accept the posi- ton without giving farther consideration to the subject. In the meantime, however, I desire to resign my present position as manager of this Office, to take effect immedi itely and uucondition- ally, upon the appointment of my successor. Of course I shall remain at my post, if desired, as long as may be necessary to place the business of the office in as good condition as. ble to trans- fer to my successor, and to render him whatever assistance 1 can.

The statement published in Tax Star last even- ing of counter cfarges preferred in the Police Court yesterday by Mrs, Cornelia Wiidicombe, the wife of a well-known livery stable keeper, and ‘Mrs. Cornelia Miles, has given rise to considerable gossip. Mrs. Miles, who went to Mrs. Widdi- Gomnbe's house, July’ 14, with a bottle of vitriol and & cowhide, was, a3 stated In yesterday’s STAR, held in bonds to keep the peace, while the cha of disorderly conduct acainst Mrs. Wiidicom| was dismissed. The disorderly conduct consisted in ejecting Mrs, Miles from the house and striking her with her own cowhide, ‘Mrs. Miles, who is a young Englishwoman, liv- ing at No. 2146 Pennsylvania avenue, who has & husband in London, denies that any Improper ree lations existed between her and Mr. Widdicombe, and declares that she sought to punish Mrs. Wid- dicombe because the latter had made charges of immoral conduct See her and employed boys to watch and hound her. Mrs, Widdicombe’s statement of the affair is that Mrs. Miles had sought to alienate her hus- band’s affections, and that she came to her house July 13th with a baby in her arms, which she in- Umated was Mr. Widdicombe’s. She thought Mrs. Miles was jealous because Mr. Widdicombe had ceased his attentions to her. As to the baby Mrs. ‘Miles said that it was the legitimate offspring of her husband. ‘MR. WIDDICOMBE DECLINES TO TALK ABOUT IT. ASrak reporter applied to Mr. Widdicombe to- day for a statement which would solve what mys- tery was in the affair, but Mr. Widdicombe de- clined to talk, on the ground that to agitate the matter further would be unwise. A friend of Mr. Widdicombe’s at the stable said: “The matter ought to rest now. It all grew out of the spite of two high-spirited women. ‘The statements or both of them exonerate Mr. Widdicombe, and that 1s enough.” The trouble which has given rise to the unfor- tunate scandal was precipitated, 1t appears, by the aceldent that occurred to Mr. Widdicombe about a month ago.

He put Cli:ton under arrest because he ordered the men to fall in line after he (Slack) had ordered them to disperse. Mr. F. J. Acker, a foreman on the sewer, was called by the defense, and stated that he saw Slack in the midst of the crowd and thought him in a dangerous position. Mr. Pater, of the Washington Brick Machine company, testified to summoning the officer to the scene, and algo to the good character of the officer.
